Olympic Week and the 5 senses

Wow what a great week! We had a blast. We have been learning about the olympics and the kids got to participate in their own olympics. It was a blast.

These are the olympic flags we made. They got to march in together and we sang "It's a Small World After All".

Balloon race, and yes a few popped but they just thought it was funny.


Carrying an egg race.
This was so funny they got their gold medallion but when I asked them to hold it up but still let me see their face they just didn't quite get it. O well. They were so proud of their medal.
Learning about Canada. We made the Maple Flag and for cooking made waffles and homemade maple syrup. My sister in law, who is from Canada, says they love maple syrup on pretty much everything.

For science the next few weeks we will be going over the 5 senses. Today we learned about the sense of smell. I had each cup covered with some holes to smell. They made some of the funniest guesses as to what they thought was in each one.

Guesses: Pickles and Olives. Pickles was the right choice!
Guesses: Top Ramen, Pepper Correct Answer: Onion
Guesses: Bananas Correct answer: Marshmallows
Guesses: Flowers, Ramen Noodles, Soap Correct Answer: Wax that smells like flowers
They all guessed this one right! Bananas
Everyone got this one right: Cinnamon
